    It has become a regular pass time around here... I wonder how many wagons there are between the very first post and this one?








    I may have a lot of time on my hands but I don't have that much.

    Oh I like that one. And the one next to it. What is that third one over?

    The third one over appears to be a telephone utility truck. A pick up truck cab and chassis with a special utility body on the back that was used by telephone companies probably back to the 40's and continuing almost un-changed through at least the early 70's.

    Thanks, Jim. I have always had a kind of fondness with old utility trucks. I don't know why.

    I guess they call it a "Lineman's Truck". Heres a couple threads on another forum with pictures.

    I was actually curious about the extra long woody wagon in the photo. It would have been great for hauling the early "long board" style surf boards.

    So the Crosley dealer sells used cars too. Just what kind of car would people have traded in to move up to a Crosley?
